That's odd,  The bluejays broadcast is in as near as real time as makes no 
difference.  Last time I went we sat behind home plate and we could hear our 
friendly beer seller in the park and over the radio at maybe a half a second 
difference max.  Of course, that's with a radio.  I don't think I'd like trying 
to stream gameday audio at the ball park.
